Sony 32\" TV: KV-32V26 info request
Hi Folks,
Anybody know about TVs? The other day I recieved a free Sony 32" KV-32V26, manufactured in Mexico in 1998. It does have problems -- it will turn on an fucntion fine, but then after 10 min or so it turns itself off (poltegiest!)
I'm thinking of trying to get it fixed, and old retired TV repair man I know has said it'll probably cost around $80... and that most likely the problem is damaged solder connections that he'll have to hunt down. Hhis over the phone est of $80 dos allow for replacing what he said were the 3 or 4 parts that also tend to cause problems.
So what do ya think... does it sound worth it? Decent TV? At around $100 (assuming the guy can fix it w/o trouble) is it worth it?
